These are the best pictures of the lot of 80 or so that I took. Cat also got a batch which I’ll get and upload soon. These were taken from our ringside seats in the old Edward’s pecan orchard which is about a quarter mile to the north of the college baseball field where the fireworks were launched from. Pictures are below the fold. Enjoy.

Wonderful warning!

The Secret Museum of Mankind

Probably not safe for work as “here there be tits”, but please note that we are talking “National Geographic” type tits, and not “girl’s gone wild” tits, so whatever/whichever you have been warned.

Weird stuff. Lots of pics that I have never seen before, and some that I didn’t want to see at all but overall an interesting site from a historical (hysterical???) prospective.

DIY tractor culture in Poland - we make money not art

Some really cool homemade tractors. Some made from motorcycles. Interesting stuff!

Shipment of Fail

Link is thanks to Steve! Interesting site. Mucho potential, but still early days yet. Tis going on my feeds.

Andy Ihnatko’s Celestial Waste of Bandwidth (BETA) » Alcatraz photoset is now on Flickr

Bunch of cool photos and Andy’s always amusing commentary make this photoset well worth the visit. Good Stuff!

Here are some pictures of Patches at the campsite by the creek. Still got bits here and there to do but tis campable with electric available. 12 volt stuff will come soon.

Del stopped by on his way to Tampa with his teardrop camper, to spend the night, and to let us see his one of a kind creation, the Jelly Bean.

The following pictures were taken Tuesday morning just before he left out heading east for Atlanta before turning south toward Tampa.

Got the kitchen counter done today. Tile that I had to cut got ground down a bit for a better/cleaner fit. Used the belt sander to clean the edges and ends up. Worked fine. Another couple of days work and I think we are ready to go camping.

Been doing wiring and trying to finish up the kitchen. Still got bits of both to do but getting closer. Put in a bunch of outlets and still got at least 3 more to go. Got to take the couch/bed plywood off to get to where I can do them though. Should have waited till the end to put the frame in. Will know better next time. Bottom course of counter is done. Still got to skin the electrical but still got 12 volt stuff that goes in there too. And more smurf conduit to run to the tongue box which I have still got to build. And so on and so forth. On to the pix…

GrassHopper 1978 - a photoset on Flickr

This is going to be the camper that I base my next project on. Not gonna try to make a copy but rather use it as a basic guide. Nice design and well laid out.

Shore power is in. Got the base level kitchen cabinet framing about done. Still got some paneling to get done. Getting closer and closer.

Got bits and pieces done. Spent quite a bit of time finding enough tile to do the kitchen counter and then figuring out the pattern.

Decided to start at the top in doing the kitchen so put the top kitchen shelf in first. Then put in the water jug enclosure and added bracing from the ceiling. Supports it fine.

Got to the part that I have been dreading, the kitchen wall. Sat and thunk most of the day yesterday. With the rain it was hard to do much wood cutting so did what I could and spent the rest of the time trying out different bits in my head. The following rough drawing is what Cat and I came up with:

Been one of those days. Will fill in on that part later. For now here are pix of the bits I have gotten donein the past couple of days.

Still going. Starting to build the inside cabinets, toilet and storage areas. Have now stared at it long enough and finally decided how to built most of it so things should start moving a bit faster.

Been working and not posting. Got all the top pieces in. Finally! Never again will I do one quite this way. But I have learned a LOT doing it. And a lot not to do again. Getting to the point of building the interior now. Should go faster than the ceiling went. Still got lots of molding to do but that can be done most any time. Slowly, slowly getting this elephant eaten…
